Wayne Brady<\/a> says so much of his life has been in secret — well, not anymore!<\/span><\/p>\n For his new reality show, <\/span>Wayne Brady: The Family Remix<\/span><\/em>, the longtime TV personality is pulling back the curtain on his real life with the people he says truly know him: his blended family, or as he calls them, “the Core Four.” That includes his ex-wife and business partner,\u00a0Mandie Taketa, their daughter,\u00a0Maile, 21, and Taketa’s life partner, Jason Michael Fordham, who previously worked for Brady as a dancer and shares son Sundance-Isamu with Taketa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As the comedian put it, “We are not a regular nuclear family.”<\/span><\/p>\n According to a newly released trailer for the upcoming Freeform show, viewers will see the <\/span>Whose Line Is It Anyway?\u00a0<\/span><\/em>alum\u00a0as he lives as openly pansexual — an attraction to people regardless of their gender — and addresses his sexual orientation with people close to him, including his mom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “I <\/span>don’t want to be depressed anymore<\/a>,” he declares in the trailer. “I don’t want to feel this weight anymore.”<\/span><\/p>\n “People see their social media posts — from vacations to dancing in TikToks — but what\u2019s behind the joyful 15 seconds of fun?” a synopsis of the show reads. “Their real life is not always as easy and as simple as it seems.”<\/span><\/p>\n Nearly a year ago, Brady <\/span>came out as pansexual<\/a>. As <\/span>explained to ET at the time, he looks at pansexuality as being “able to love whomever I want<\/a> no matter the vessel.”<\/span><\/p>\n “I’m saying it is very possible for me to be attracted to the man because of the person,” he explained, “and I can be attracted to this beautiful woman like you because of the person.”<\/span><\/p>\n In sharing his truth, the star has gained a sense of freedom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “The best part is, now that I’ve said this out loud, I don’t have to worry,” Brady told ET. “I could show up at a red carpet. I could be at Denny’s for all you know, I’m not ducking anybody… because it is what it is, and I’m free to do that.”<\/span><\/p>\n Wayne Brady: The Family Remix<\/span><\/em> will premiere on Freeform on Wednesday, July 24, at 10 p.m. ET and the next day on Hulu.<\/span><\/p>\n RELATED CONTENT:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
